Manager's Comments:
Another varied day again today with some rods doing rather well and others struggling to find contact. It seems to be the case at the moment and I think it is most likely to stay like that for the rest of the season now... some people just hit it right when there are a few fish on the beat and get stuck in.
Today Michel G was certainly in the right spot and he managed to make hay while the sun was shining. He ended up with four fish out of Sand Island and Cliff, the smallest weighing in at 10lbs. There was also a 14, 17, and 20lber so a fantastic day by any means. Michel’s big fish was actually from 7 Islands - he had floated down from his own beat to find Max fast asleep on the bank. After waking him a rather large fish showed very close to the bank. Max decided Michel should have a go for it. Sure enough, second cast…
Raul managed another 14lber late on this afternoon in Lake Pool on the home stretch. The fish was exceptionally lively, torpedoing down the pool and almost wrapping itsself around the boulders at the bottom. But with a bit of Mexican skill he managed to get the fish back up to the top and safely in the net.

In summary, another reasonable day on the Yokanga and some happy faces in camp this evening. A very jolly supper and we even had the two Swedes, Erik and Tor, singing some traditional Swedish fishing songs after supper. A very entertaining evening!
